The President : I will appoint them in a few 

 minutes. 



Mr. Whitaker: Before the regular order of busi- 

 ness of reading papers is begun, and in line with the 

 suggestion contained in the report of the Secretary, I 

 would like to offer the following resolution : Resolved, 

 That all papers read before the Society be handed to 

 the Secretary and retained by him for publication. I 

 think it may overcome the difficulty referred to. 



Mr. Cheney : Do you mean to say that the news- 

 papers are not to have access to them ? 



Mr. Whitaker: We cannot go beyond our own 

 business here. There is no reason why the writer of 

 a paper, if he wishes to do so, should not furnish any- 

 body he cares to with a copy of the paper. The orig- 

 inal paper should be retained, so that we will have no 

 further trouble of this kind, and no delay in the publi- 

 cation of our report by reason of it. 



Mr. Whitaker s resolution was put and carried. 



The President : We will now proceed to read the 

 papers, and perhaps it would be well for the Secretary 

 to read the titles of the papers that are to be read. 



The Secretary : The list of papers, arranged in 

 the order of the receipt of letters announcing them, is 

 as follows : 



J. E. Gunckel, Toledo, O. Hon. Emery Davis Potter. 



Fred Mather, Brooklyn, N. Y. Natural Food for

Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, Battery Park Aquarium, New 

 York. Pond Culture of California Salmon in
